Tang Zhuyun quickly realized that Huai Shang must have "Huaishang the Prince of Jin in the bud."
Although a man's words are like fine wine, even if you want to drink more, it's best to only take a small sip. Otherwise, getting drunk will harm your health, and you'll only end up hurting yourself.
What does the Prince of Jin know about women's warfare?
Now that we've entered the fray, there's no way we can just sit back and do nothing.
While not striving for perfection, it should at least be flawless.
Tang Zhuyun studied even more diligently.
To test whether Huaishang was always hiding in the shadows, she pretended to spot a mouse, and Huaishang indeed appeared.
Tang Zhuyun teased him deliberately, "Huaishang, how much silver did the Prince give you to supervise me? I'll pay double!"
Huaishang said slowly, "Your Highness, you have no money."
Tang Zhuyun: "..."
I didn't negotiate because I knew she was poor.
How do you know I don't have any money? Don't you know the prince gave me a dowry of 100,000 taels?
Huaishang: "It still doesn't work."
Tang Zhuyun: "I really underestimated you before. You're a person of principle!"
That evening, Huaishang, he wrote a letter to the Prince of Jin: "The Princess Consort wanted to bribe me with her dowry, but I firmly refused and lost a thousand taels of silver."
The prince will compensate him with two thousand taels.
Your Highness is so foolish; who can't do the math?
Besides staying at her parents' home, Tang Zhuyun also had to visit the Xue Family from time to time.
Thanks to her advanced medical skills, Old Madam Xue regained her sight.
My vision hasn't recovered to 1.0, but it's at least 0.6, which is enough to see people clearly.
Of course, after regaining his sight, he first looked at Tang Zhuyun and then had a good cry.
After crying, Old Madam Xue said that she could start preparing Tang Zhuyun's dowry!
Tang Zhuyun quickly said, "We don't need to be so high-profile."
After all, the Emperor had already bestowed a dowry, and the Prince of Jin had given so much silver; there was no need to provoke further hatred.
Now that she's going to be a princess, she has to keep a low profile.
Old Madam Xue replied, "Be careful from now on. A marriage should be grand and dignified. People need to know that you have a family and powerful backing so they won't dare to look down on you in the future."
Tang Zhuyun: Okay, she doesn't understand.
Unexpectedly, one day she would have a grand wedding procession.
That was so... awesome!
It's a feeling of both worry and pleasure.
Although she knew that she would have to repay these favors in the future.
"By the way, Grandma, did Grandpa feel any better after he used the plaster last time?"
Xue Shanting suffers from chronic leg pain; when the pain flares up, even a strong man like him finds it difficult to endure.
Speaking of this, Old Madam Xue became very excited. "Much better, much better. A-Yun, is there anything you don't understand?"
Tang Zhuyun chuckled.
As a 22nd-century doctor, you will receive general training, rotate through various positions in the hospital, and be able to start your own practice after the age of 35.
Although it's tough, afterwards you'll be a true high-earner, living in a big villa with a swimming pool...
Unfortunately, she crossed over before dawn.
Prince of Jin: A villa? Does a princely mansion count? A swimming pool? Is the wooden sea not big enough?
The Xue Family family witnessed Tang Zhuyun's medical skills firsthand and were all very impressed.
In order to get closer to this niece (sister), the men of the Xue Family would often find excuses to "cure" themselves.
My throat hurts, my ear is uncomfortable... After seeing the doctor, I can at least chat with someone.
Tang Zhuyun was amiable and could chat with anyone, which quickly won her the favor of the Xue Family.
Xiu'er sighed, "Your Majesty, people still need to be useful."
How so?
"Look at the Xue Family's situation. The old lady gave you so many things; if it were anyone else, your aunt and uncle would have been furious. But now, not only are they not angry, they're even giving you gifts themselves..."
Ultimately, Tang Zhuyun has a good personality and a special skill.
A favor in return will always be repaid in the future.
Tang Zhuyun said, "Why be so clear-headed? It's just about family harmony."
The Xue Family has a good family tradition, and people should know how to repay kindness and not just take from others. This is a principle that Zidu should understand.
Xiu'er: "How's the embroidery on the veil coming along?"
Tang Zhuyun feigned death.
Later, unable to resist Xiu'er's grumbling, she complained softly, "You said you'd only embroider the eyes, but after you finished the eyes, you're making me put on a veil..."
"Let's teach you the proper rules, so that you won't complain later if the prince acts improperly."
Tang Zhuyun: "..."
Understood. If you're not doing well in the future, don't complain or blame others; just beat up the Prince of Jin.
Now that she understands the reasoning, does the veil still need to be embroidered?
Xiu'er: Knowledge gained from books is ultimately superficial; true understanding requires personal experience.
Will they learn their lesson if they don't get pricked a few times?
So, while learning etiquette, Tang Zhuyun also began painstakingly embroidering a veil.
This is real embroidery, truly the hard mode.
It's okay, is there anything a top student can't learn?
I'm so frustrated!
Yanran proudly displayed her work. "Mother, look at my embroidery!"
Tang Zhuyun praised generously, "That's wonderful! If it were any better, it could be saved as your dowry."
Yanran: "I'll practice some more."
Just then, someone came to deliver furniture, and Tang Zhuyun took Yanran's hand and went out to see it.
Yanran touched each item excitedly, then looked up and asked Tang Zhuyun, "Mother, was this specially made for your and Father's wedding?"
Tang Zhuyun was also very satisfied, smiling and nodding, "Yes. When you and your brother get married in the future, Mother will also make preparations for you."
Yanran was stunned, and after a long while, she said, "Mother, must I marry my brother?"
Tang Zhuyun: "Ah? No, no, I meant when you and your brother got married separately, Mother Consort prepared things for you."
Tang Zhuyun couldn't tell her right now that they were married by close relatives, so it wouldn't work.
She needs to be more careful in the future, especially during puberty, she needs to be extra vigilant.
Then she saw Yanran smile, "That's good, you scared me to death."
Tang Zhuyun:???
Didn't the little girl want to marry her brother before?
Why did you change your mind?
Yanran said matter-of-factly, "I want to marry my brother, because only my brother loves me; but if I marry someone else, it's like when my mother married my father, because my father loves you, and my uncle also loves you, right?"
It would be better if two people doted on her!
Tang Zhuyun chuckled silently.
Good boy, no problem!
Just then, Nanxing rushed in and said, "Your Highness, Linlin was stung on the eyelid by a wild bee! It's swollen up into a huge bump!"
She recently went with Linlin to study under the Great Confucian Scholar Kong, protecting him and teaching him self-defense techniques during their breaks.
Everyone said it was just a sting and nothing serious.
The monks at Great Xiangguo Temple also treated it for him using traditional remedies, but Nanxing was still worried.
"I remember you said that some wild bees are very powerful, even deadly. Would you like to go and take a look?"
Tang Zhuyun stood up. "Let's go take a look."
Although it's a low-probability event, we can't take children's matters lightly.
Tang Zhuyun asked Xiu'er to take care of Yanran, then picked up her medicine box, said goodbye to Meng Yulan, and hurriedly left with Nanxing.
